Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has just said that he is “committed to this peace” following the release of the living hostages held in Gaza, while speaking in his country’s Knesset.
Netanyahu thanked US President Donald Trump, who is set to give a speech in the parliament shortly, for his “pivotal leadership in putting forward a proposal that got the backing of almost the entire world.”
Trump’s ceasefire plan “brings all our hostages home,” “ends the war by achieving all our objectives,” and “opens the door to an historic expansion of peace in our region and beyond our region,” Netanyahu said.
Netanyahu suggested that his country could forge “new peace treaties” with Arab and Muslim countries, both in the Middle East and beyond.
“Abraham’s children will work together to build a better future, a future that will unite civilization against barbarism, light against darkness, and hope against despair,” he said, adding that “no one wants peace more than the people of Israel.”
